Sorry, holdover from my DOS days (which are closer than you'd expect :)). I
increased the max length of the extension string to 60, since any larger
and the extension would be longer than the total length of the default
extension list.

Oops! Coming straight from v2.0 macro command lines are new to me, so I
guess I thought that the input field for entering the new macros to the
Autoload list was so long because the extra space was for command line
arguments. So much for the "intuitive interface." :) Maybe you can put this
on the todo list for v4.1, along with "imbedded LoadMacro command lines"
and "imbedded macro command lines for DOS command line options /l and /e."
